A bachelor party in New York usually means a group moving between dinner, a game or show, bars and clubs — sometimes with a trip to Atlantic City or a Connecticut casino. Keeping everyone together and getting everyone home safely is the organizer’s biggest challenge. A chauffeured Sprinter (for up to about 12) or SUV (for smaller groups) on hourly service solves both: the group rides together, the car waits between stops, and nobody drives.
Choosing a vehicle
| Group size | Vehicle |
|---|---|
| 4–6 | Full-size SUV |
| 7–12 | Sprinter van |
| 13+ | Two vehicles, or a party bus |

Weekend versions
For a full weekend, many groups pair a New York night with a day activity — golf, a sporting event, a brewery or distillery tour, or a trip to Atlantic City or Connecticut’s casinos. Read Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods.
Budget tip
A single Sprinter often costs less per person than several separate rides across a night of stops, and nobody spends the evening waiting for cars.
